    2003 Montero - Hydraulic Brake Booster longevity & general advice

    Doubtful, Its generally either the motor (worn out) or accumulator (leak) that take a crap. Neither of these comes in contact with brake fluid. Just remember, nothing is forever. Old parts fail at some point .

    HELP! Did I buy the wrong truck? GVWR Concerns (02 Frontier CC LB V6)

    maybe in the crate. I've shipped 2 recently via greyhound, no crate, just wrapped. 71 lbs and 82 lbs. One for a Montero, the other for a 4Runner. With a steel cable winch it will be up around 150 total.

    HELP! Did I buy the wrong truck? GVWR Concerns (02 Frontier CC LB V6)

    Looks like he doesn't have a winch. BTW ARB bumpers weigh closer to 80 lbs, not 150.

    Are DIY tire repair kits ok for permanent repairs on small punctures?

    Plug kit, no problem. I worked in a Service Station from 1977 thru 1983 and probably plugged 1,000 tires. I carry a plug kit in my vehicle and have for many years.

    2003 Montero - Hydraulic Brake Booster longevity & general advice

    I have 185K+ miles on my '05 (put more than 100K of those on it) and have not had the symptoms nor failure. I do have a new re-built HBB motor on my shelf thou, hopefully will never need to use it. IIRC some of the higher end Toyota & Lexus cars have the same system too.

    Searching for a 3rd Gen Weekend Whomper

    As with anything, generally the lower the miles and the newer (years wise) the better. Of course that is not the only factor in a used vehicle evaluation.

    School Me on Rear Differentials - Gen 3 Montero

    IIRC, the front differential internal carrier guts in a Gen 3 are the same 8" components used in Gen 1 (V6 5 speed) Gen 2 (SR & 5 speed) , 2.5... How about Galant VR4 AWD? Eclipes AWD? 3000GT VR-4? Lancer EVO? I'm not familiar with these thou. I know about the clutch pack LSD Starion 8"...

    Tired of all the "crap" RTT's. So I made my own. - TERRAPOD!

    I used Sunbrella Spectrum Graphite Fabric, which is water repellent, probably not water proof. I'm thinking it breaths ?

    Manufactured expedition trailer doors

    is this a joke (from their website) : The screen door features a stainless steel powdercoated #6 woven mesh with .040 wire. #6 was chosen because it is the largest mesh that a grizzly cannot get a claw into. It seams to be written that the screen provides grizzly protection....
